A64809	The history of the Sevarites or Sevarambi, a nation inhabiting part of the third continent commonly called Terræ australes incognitæ with an account of their admirable government, religion, customs, and language / written by one Captain Siden, a worthy person, who, together with many others, was cast upon those coasts, and lived many years in that country.; Histoire des Sevarambes. English	Allais, Denis Vairasse d', ca. 1630-1672.; Roberts, A., 17th cent.	1675 (1675)	Wing V20; ESTC R13659	118,902	302

were much displeased with this Plurality of men to one woman and told us it was so beastly a thing as was not to be suffered and rather than to endure it they would provide more women for our men to keep them from that filthy and worse than brutish practice We excused our selves upon the necessity of our condition and told him he might order the matter as he thought best himself Will you saith he heartily conform to our Laws and and Customs We told him We desired to do so and thought it our best way Well then saith he number out your men and women and give me a List of them all and let me know likewise how many of your Women are with Child and we will take care that you shall be supplied with every thing you want in that particular according to the manner of the Country We gave him an exact account of every thing according to his desire and then he said That if any one of us was willing to stick to any of the Women we had who was not with Child he might do it Furthermore we should agree of a method for every one how to chuse his Bedfellow for there would be a number of Slaves allowed to supply the want of our Women We consulted among us how to proceed in that matter and it was agreed That every Principal Officer who had a woman wholly to himself might keep her still if he pleased or take a Slave of the Country chusing according to his degree and that the Commonalty should cast Lots as Maurice his men had done before Some of these Officers stuck to their old Bedfellows but others had rather chuse a new one than to keep such as they were already weary of the inferiour sort chose according to their Lot and Maurices men not being allowed to make a new choice must be content to keep those women they had chose at the first The women who were with child by any Officer were commanded to stick to the Father of the Child although he was allowed a fresh woman besides as for those of the Commonalty that had a great belly they were obliged to stick to one of the five men who lay with them and exhorted to chuse as near as they could the man whom they thought to be the true Father of the Child And that was the Method according to which this matter was ordered much to most of our Womens grief and discontent The fifth day after we were come to Sporundè Sermodas came to me in the morning and told me That I must prepare to go to the Temple where the Osparenibon or Marriage Solemnities were to be celebrated He told me farther That the same was kept four times a year and that it was the greatest Festival they had though much inferiour to that of Sevarundè which was the most magnificent in the world I got up and put on the new Cloaths that were brought me and to every one of our Principal Officers who came to my Chamber to go with me to the Temple along with Sermodas and Carshidà our perpetual Leaders We went together to the Palace where Albicormas had given us Audience and having passed through several Courts we came at last to a large and magnificent Temple where we saw a great many young men and women together in new Apparel and wearing upon their heads the men wreaths of green boughs and the women Garlands of Flowers They altogether made the loveliest show that ever I saw being most of them very proper and handsome The farther end of the Temple was kept from our sight by a large Curtain which divided it almost in the middle we stood there near an hour looking upon the rich Ornaments and the several Objects of the place before we heard or saw any alteration but at the last we heard the sound of several Trumpets drawing near to us we heard likewise the Harmony of many Flutes and Houboyes which played very sweet and airy Tunes Then came in a great number of People with lighted Torches in their hands and set them up in divers places of the Temple where hanged divers Candlesticks disposed in a very good order The Windows were close shut up and the Curtain drawn which discovered the other end of the Church where we saw at a distance a great Altar very rich and magnificent adorned with Garlands and Festons of fresh flowers ingeniously done up together About it and in the Wall against which it was set up we saw a great Globe of Crystal or very clear Glass as big about as four men can fathom which cast such a light as enlightned all that end at a very great distance On the other side was a great Statue representing a Woman with many breasts and suckling as many little Children all very curiously cut In the middle of these two Figures we saw nothing but a large black Curtain plain without any Ornaments While we were looking upon these Objects the Musick came nearer and nearer and at last into the Temple Then turning our eyes that way we saw Albicormas with all his Senators coming towards the Altar in great Pomp and State As soon as he came in several Priests went to meet him with Thuribula Censors in their hands and singing a Canticle They bowed to him three times and then turned and lead him to the Altar where he and his men inclined their bodies three times to the Curtain twice to the Luminous Globe and once to the Statue Then he took his Seat on the right hand of the place against the Wall where several high Thrones were set up to receive him and his Company and so many on the other side on the like manner Sermodas brought me to a Seat under Albicormas his feet with three more of my men and placed the rest over-against us on the otherside We were no sooner set down but three of the Priests went towards the young People and called them to the Altar They divided into two parts and all the Men came orderly on the right hand and the Women on the left Then did the Principal Priest stand up on a high place in the middle of all and made a short speech unto them which done fire was brought in lighted by the Sun-beams as I understood afterwards This fire being brought in Albicormas came down to the Altar where he lighted some Aromatical sticks that lay upon it with that fire and kneeling before the Luminous Globe spake aloud some words which then I could not understand From the Globe he went to the Statue and bending down one of his knees only he made there another short Speech or Prayer which done the Priests sang an Anthem which was answered by the People When this short Anthem was ended several Musical Instruments began to play very sweet and melodious Tunes A Chorus of men and women succeeded these Instruments and sang so Divinely that we all thought we were in Heaven our Voyces and Musick

in Europe being not comparable to these When this Symphony was ended the chiefest Priest went to the young woman who stood at the upper end of the Row and asked her Whether she would be married She making a low inclination and blushing at the same time answered Yes Then did he go to all the others asked them the same question aloud and received the like answer The same was done on the other side where the young men stood and when all these questions were asked and answered the Priest went again to the uppermost Maid and asked her Whether she would marry any one of the young men who stood on the other side Whereunto she answered Yes Then did the Priest take her by the hand and brought her to the uppermost young man of the other row and bid her chuse her Husband She looked upon the first young man and then upon the others successively until the came to the sixth and there she stopped and asked him Whether he would be her good Lord and faithful Husband He answered That he would be so if she would be his loving and loyal Wife Which she said She would be till death should part them After this solemn and mutual promise he took her by the hand kissed her and walked with her to the lower end of the Temple All the others did successively do the same till they were all marched down by Couples But there remained eight young women who could get no Husbands Five of them seemed to be full of confusion and tears trickled down their eyes in great abundance The three others looked not so dejected and when the Priest came to them they got hold of his Robes and went along with him to Albicormas He spake some words to them and then they went to three several Senators and said That since it was their ill fortune not to be able to get single men to their Husbands they made choice of them to take away their reproach that lay upon their heads after having three times been slighted publickly Therefore they desired them that according to the Laws and their particular priviledge they would receive them into the number of their Wives promising to be very loving and faithful to them The three Senators came down immediately took them by the hand and carried them to the Altar where they stood till all the others came up by Couples The five afflicted Virgins were asked by one of the Priests Whether they had a mind to chuse any of the Officers To which they answered That this being the first time they had tried their Fortune they were willing to try twice more before they took that course Then pulling down their Vails they marched out of the Temple and got into a Chariot ready to receive them at the Gate and so went away much discontented As soon as they were out of sight the Musick began to play very merry Tunes and Albicormas going to the Altar spake some words aloud and taking the three first Maids and the three Senators joyned their hands together and spake some words to which they made answer and bowed very humbly to him He did the like to seven or eight Couples more and at last leaving the Office to other Senators he went up again to his Throne The like Ceremony was used to all the rest and when it was done two Priests took the fire from the Altar brought it to the middle of the Temple and the new married Folks made a ring about it Every one of them had some Gums or Perfumes in their hands and each Couple mixing them together threw them into the fire Then kneeling down laid their hands upon a yellow Book which two Priests held in their hands Swore obedience to the Laws and promised to maintain them to the utmost of their power till the end of their lives taking God the Sun and their Country to witness of their Oaths Then did they march to the Altar again where Albicormas made a short Prayer they being upon their knees and turning towards them gave them his blessing which done he marched out of the Temple all the Company following after and the Musick playing all in a Consort Next they went into a great Hall near unto the Temple where stood many Tables which were immediately covered with meat Albicormas took me and Van de Nuits told us we should be his Guests that day and bringing us to the uppermost Table sate down with his chiefest Officers and made us sit with them Sermodas took the rest of my men to another Table and the Commonalty of our People who stood in a Gallery all the time of the Ceremony were carried home again by Carshidà and Benoscar We had a very noble Feast several Instruments of Musick playing all the while we fate After Dinner we marched out into the Amphitheater which stood about a Musket shot from the Temple and all the way we went we found the Streets strewed with herbs and flowers and heard the acclamations of a great multitude of People who came out to see us pass This Amphitheater is strongly built with very large stone and is no less than fifty paces Diameter counting from outer Wall to outer Wall It is covered with a prodigious high and large Vault which shelters the place from the Sun and from all injuries of weather There are Seats round about it one over the other from top to bottom which take up a great deal of Room and streighten the Pit to an indifferent bigness The upper Seats were full of people and none but the Officers and the new married Folks were admitted into the pit except some young men who exercised themselves a while in Wrastling Fencing Leaping and in many other acts of Agility which was no unpleasant sight Then fell our People to dancing and kept so till it was almost night at which time the Trumpets and other Instruments sounded out a retreat We marched out in the same manner as we came and found in the Streets many fire-works which made a second day of the night Albicormas and his Company went home in their Chariots and the new married people to the Lodgings prepared for them where I suppose they enjoyed one another all night to their hearts content and Sermodas carried us home again where he explained to us several parts of the Ceremony The next morning he came to us and asked whether we would go to the Temple again to see another Ceremony which was but a consequence of the former to which we readily assenting he carried us away and made us stand a while at the Temple-gate Soon after we heard a sound of Musick coming towards us and saw the new married men coming to the Temple each of them with a long and green bough in his hand where were hung up the Wreath he wore the day before and his Wives Garland tied together with a white Clout stained with bloud which were the marks of his Wives Virginity They came all

refreshing our selves and admiring all the Excellencies before our eyes and the Divine Beauty of those incarnate Angels the Women of that place At the first they saluted us with a short Speech to this purpose in their own Language which was immediately interpreted to us by a stander by in Spanish Welcome noble Strangers to our City of Sevarinde let not your misfortunes and losses grieve you the great Being of Beings hath sent you to discover what I understand was never known to your World You shall see by experience the Generosity and brave minds of the Sevarambi We rejoyce to have an occasion of imitating our bountiful God and express our Liberalities to his Creatures and our kindness to men though of another World and Parentage This brings me and my Companions into this place and at this time to mitigate your sorrows and cause you to forget your shipwrack and calamity With these words he made a grave bow and nodded to the rest of his Comrades and immediately the Musick began to play so sweetly that we reckoned our selves in Heaven and not upon Earth This Sport continued about two hours with an interruption of other Sports We tasted there also some of the most delicious Wines of the World they grow not as ours upon shrubs and short stumps but upon great Trees as high as the Cedar and Oak-trees neither have they any trouble with them to manure or cut them for the Wine-tree brings forth of its own accord plentifully In an Orchard of these kinds of Trees about the compass of an Acre they have sometimes ten Tun of this rare Wine as clear as Crystal but so extraordinary strong and pleasant that the Vin de la Cindad of Paris nor the Rhenish nor Frontiniack nor Florence nor Canary nor any other sorts of Wine of Asia or Europe are to be compared to this Divine Nectar which so refreshes Nature and strengthens the body that the oldest persons in that Country seem to be but young Their age is discoverable only by their grey hairs and long beards which they are not to cut by the Law of the Land That evening Sevarminas sent us a Messenger to know of our welfare advising us to prepare our selves for the next morning to wait upon him for he was very desirous to see us Sermodas had been with him and had given him an account of us and of our behaviour since our landing in Sporumbè and our entrance in Sevarambé At his return to us after Supper we desired him to give us an exact account of the extent of the Dominions of his King Sevarminas and of the further most bounds of his Empire In answer to your request said Sermodas to us I must tell you That we have now a Prince called Sevarminas lineally descended from our wise Law-giver Sevarias this is the seventh thousand five hundred and ninth King who hath since that time reigned in this Land His Government between the Rivers are threescore and five Principalities the chief are Rostaki in the West Shafstati on the North towards the Pacifick Sea Roblati on the East and Manasti on the South These are the four principal Parts of the Kingdom commanded by four chief Officers who are to have an inspection over the other lesser Divisions These wait upon Sevarminas and are of his Privy Council The other Chieftains are to reside in their several Principalities and take care to do Justice and punish all Offenders with Banishment to their several places appointed for their retreat Besides these Jurisdictions within the Rivers there are several other places belonging to Sevarminas which acknowledge him for their Supreme Lord but they are full of all banished men Offenders of the Law and Malefactors There is the Province of the Sporvi which you have seen already commanded by the Noble Albicormas the next to us is the Island of the Fornicators whom these Sevarambi cannot endure These all appear with their rotten Noses and poysoned Faces so that they are ashamed to shew themselves amongst perfect men They live in Woods and dark Caves men and women promiscuously without any regard to their honesty which they have had no care to preserve They have an ill-favour'd old Hag for their Governess a filthy Bawd named Brustana Their Country affords them many good things so that they live without much labour but are so deformed and infectious that none dares venture amongst them who hath any regard to the safety of his own person or Honour When amongst the Sevarites any either man or woman breaks the Law by any such fleshly liberty they are immediately sent over and landed there from whence they cannot possibly return because there is no Boat dares carry them from thence In this place they have a freedom to do what they list and to please themselves with the choice of persons of their own disposition and temper without any restraint The next Province is that of the Knaves a cunning sort of men who are all upon catches continually plotting the mischief of others When there is the least suspicion of any such person in a Province of the Sevarites they never leave till they have found him out and sent him to this place where he is commanded by Marabo when any excels in Knavery he is there promoted in his Court to Offices of Honour and Trust These have the largest and best Province belonging to Sevarminas beyond the River for they are numerous and increase daily in number of men and in Lands towards the South They dispossessed another Generation of covetous Rascals who had been banished from among the Sevarambi and had laid great improvement upon their Lands having built many good Towns and Cities When the Knaves their Neighbours had understood it they caught it from them and drove them out of it by a Trick sending the Covetous to live in their Country empty of Inhabitants The next is the Province of disorderly persons troubled with the distempers of discontent fury ambition and other Vices Sevarminas is forced to keep a Guard upon their Borders and to place next to them the stoutest and most warlike souls for fear of a sudden irruption There are thirteen other large Provinces filled with other kind of men but I forbear to speak of them till I shall give you an account of an attempt which the bordering Provinces made once to dispossess King Sevarminas of his Throne and to seize upon the Territories of the unspotted Sevarites who were forced to arm themselves and drive those disorderly Villains into their own Nests where they are now confined Since that time care hath been taken to build such Walls and Forts as that they cannot now easily pass over to trouble the Peace of the Sevarites I had almost forgotten to speak of the large Province of Fools which lies directly South from Sevarindé If any person by a mischance becomes crack-brain'd or distemper'd with any kind of folly he is condemned to be transported to the Island of

Zidi Parabas made me get up to hear their Pleading but I understood not their Language only Sermodas gave me an account of some passages The crime was not to be denied which caused them both to look ashamed because they had forgotten all honesty and lost their honour The Judge asked them many questions All the cruel Lawyers cryed to punish her with death because she had not given them any thing to plead for her but the young man had got a bawling Lawyer to speak for him when his crime came to be examined but all would not do he would have made the Judge believe that this Excrescence in his sace was only a natural deformity proceeding from some other inward cause and not from Lust But the Judge a wise and brave man of the Court of Sevarminas convinced him of his errour and made him at last confess that the Girl had inticed him with her bewitching Looks In conclusion of the Tryal the lecherous couple were sent to the Island of Whores and Rogues where they were to live confined for ever from all friends and acquaintances and to spend their life in lust and debauchery a sufficient punishment as they imagined for their forgetfulness I took no great delight amongst the Lawyers for I looked upon this place as the Hell in the midst of the earthly Paradise of the Sevarites After these two Fornicators had been judged and condemned to perpetual banishment where nevertheless they live in great plenty there was brought before the Judge a Thief a sneaking Fellow differing in looks as well as in manners from the rest of the Sevarambi The Judge whose name was Zidi Morasco commanded him to be examined before him by a crafty Lawyer And it was proved plain against him that he had stole some Jewels and Gold from his Neighbour with some Garments of Cloth of Silver covered over with precious Stones of a great value The Fellows countenance since this deed was mightily changed for every wicked action especially amongst the Sevarites alters the countenances of men The Eyes being the windows of the Soul through them it discovers all the inward thoughts fears apprehensions and displeasures that rowl in the breast Besides the Thieves have here in this Country a mark which immediately appears upon their Chins and Cheeks a black spot very ugly to the eye This Fellow also was adjudged unworthy to live any longer amongst the religious Sevarites I asked Sermodas why the Sevarambi suffered the Lawyers who I told him in our Country were generally none of the best men in the World What! said he have you any there Yes said I to our sorrow we cannot be quiet for them Captain replied he I must tell you were it not for these Fellows the Sevarites would not be able to live so quiet as they do nor so innocent as in all other Countries fear as well as shame must keep men in awe and in the performance of their duties to their Neghbours and Superiours And though men are not here so inclinable to wickedness as in Europe because they proceed from another stock and generation of men yet the pleasures of the Country together with the inticements of some subtle Devils whom we cannot always perceive many may be brought to do what is contrary to Law Reason Equity and Justice It is therefore for the publick Good that these men are living amongst us And though they are as bad as those whom they plead against they are here confined in these and such like Cells where there is a publick provision made for them to keep them from running up and down to breed disturbances Such amongst them as are honest good and merciful men are highly esteemed but they are very rare and if they were known to be honest and good men amongst the Lawyers the rest would not suffer them to come near the Bar but would banish them out of their Society and deprive them of all manner of Practice and liberty of Pleading The greater Knaves they are the more esteemed amongst the Lawyers though less valued by the rest of the Sevarites Therefore to keep up their credit amongst both is a hard Chapter and not to be done without some kind of dissimulation on some side With that he pointed at a great fat Fellow who stood up in Court to see and look for his Clients Do you see said he that Knave Do you see him I turned my eyes towards him and beheld him stedfastly and asked what he was He is said Sermodas one of the chief Attornies of this Court a cunning Fellow his name is Rekrap a wicked Villain and a great Oppressor of poor Fellows that fall into his hands After the Court had examined and tryed all the Causes the Lawyers departed to their Dens and Zidi Parabas taking me by the hand led me to the Shambles of the City and to view all the Excellencies of that Noble place As I was passing one of their Temples I intreated him to give me a sight of that which I judged to be a Rarity or rather full of Rarities for it was so glorious without that I could not but think that the inside was far more rich and splendid Zidi Parabas made some difficulty to yield to my request but Sermodas perswaded him to grant it at last when he had asked me some questions concerning the Religion of our Country Are you not said he desiled with Idolatry I mean with the Worshipping of Images for I must tell you that this is a great abomination amongst the Sevarambi We have Pictures and Images in our Houses but none in our Temples we adore a great and glorious Being the Creator and Author of this earthly Paradise he is an infinite Spirit not to be consined within our walls therefore our Temples are open on the top when we are at our Devotions He is not to be likened to any outward Image or Representation therefore our ever blessed Sevarias commanded us to have no Images in our Temples nor to liken God to any Creature or Representation visible to the eye If therefore you have never dishonoured your self with such kind of practices you may be admitted to see and walk in our Temples I thanked him for his kind condescension and assured him that though it was a wickedness that many Nations in Europe were guilty of yet our Country-men abominate such kind of follies and that for my own particular I never was of that Religion which allows of Idolatry and Worshipping of Images When he understood this he walked to the great Gate of the chief Temple where he met with a grave Priest standing at the door unto whom he declared our business the Priest took me by the hand and in Spanish told me that I should see the Temple of his God I walked round and saw so many glorious Sights and such extraordinary Riches that all Europe together cannot produce the like The Priests name was Ziribabdas I desired him to tell me something

understands well the Talismanical Art is able to do any thing in Nature to work wonders and miracles and to delight himself with any kind of sport when he pleaseth After these passages I saw another Philosopher very well skilled in this curious Art bring before Sevarminas threescore Lions roaring with an hundred Bears twenty wild Horses two hundred Mastiffs thirty Leopards forty wild Bulls which he caused first to cry every one according to his custom and nature then the Philosopher forced them to dance whiles he played upon a musical Instrument and they performed this as exactly as if they had been taught on purpose but when he saw his time he set them all together by the ears the Dogs the Lions and the Bears every one pitched upon his Enemy and began a pleasant Fight which lasted two full hours with a great deal of variety of sport which caused Sevarminas and all his Court ost-times to laugh heartily When he hath a desire to take any such diversion he sends for some of these men skilled in the Talismanical Art and they answer his expectations in all things and bring before him whom and what they please We returned our thanks to this worthy Philosopher for his great pains He answered that he was glad to give us any delight and that if we would visit him at some other more convenient time he would shew us some more of his skill in acting greater wonders than what we had seen but that he had done this only to divert us for the present because he saw that we could not stay with him long but if we would see more wonderful things that we should do well to come to him some morning and to spend a whole day with him and that then he would shew us what we had never seen nor never should see but by his and his Companions means We returned him our thanks again for his great kindness and then departed with Ziribabdas who led us next to see the Treasury of the Church which is a large Room joyning to the Porch all arched above with six Windows on the top the Walls were of Diamant niched with Saphirs and Emeralds in it were Chests and Coffers full of the rarest things in Nature offered to the service of the great God by the Citizens of Sevarinde We beheld with admiration the rare workmanship the curious things and the Excellencies that had been there laid up by many Ages and never made use of Some Pictures were upon the Walls of this Treasury of an admirable hand Ziribabdas told us that the Painter was an European cast upon their Coasts by a storm at Sea and that he lived and dyed in that Country and that the Father of Sevarminas had such an affection for him that he gave him a beautiful young Virgin to Wife one of the most considerable of his Court and gave him an Estate to live on having made him a Citizen of Sevarinde and that he lived there fifty years till he was an old man leaving behind him many children Girls and Boys to perpetuate his name amongst the Sevarites His name was Simeon van Zurich a Dutch man who had a great skill in Swimming for when he was cast away all the Ships company was lost but only him they were at a distance from the shore and could not so well swim or were devoured by the fishes It was his fortune to be carried stark naked on the Coast of the Sevarites in an Island full of Ladies of Pleasure who had been banished thither for their incontinency As soon as it was day he found himself surrounded by a whole Troop of the female Sex who had a great delight to see him and came to draw him into the Country but when he saw no men he was afraid to venture amongst them this caused him to swim up the River into the Land in the sight of these beautiful Creatures that accompanied on the shore and often made signs to him to land and go no further but he continued on till he landed amongst the innocent Sevarambi who cloathed and brought him to their King He was by him entertained courteously and nobly and provided for the rest of his days When we had taken notice of the Treasury and of all the great Rarities that are in it we marched into the Church or Temple again to see the excellent Workmanship the Carving and rare things that adorn this excellent place Ziribabdas caused us to take notice of three Partitions in the Temple the one which is at the higher end is only for their Priests and their King the second is for their Nobles the third is for all sorts of persons promiscuously without exception By that time we had seen all this the night drew on apace which caused us to withdraw towards our Lodgings Zidi Parabas led me and Sermodas went with Maurice our other Companions followed us to our Lodgings We took our leaves of the generous and civil Ziribabdas the Chief Priest of that stately and glorious Cathedral-Temple of Sevarinde and thanked him heartily for his great courtesie shewed to us When we came to our Lodgings we found our Supper ready and we were no less prepared for it but Zidi Parabas returned to the Palace to give Sevarminas an account of his Commission and of our Walk promising to return to us the next day Sermodas my self and Companions supped that night together the Musick playing all the while we were eating After Supper we had good store of rare Wines brought to us which we received and made good use of but as we understood that the Sevarites hate Drunkards and drunkenness I advised all my Companions to drink moderately for fear of giving an offence to those noble people They followed my advice and after an hour or two's discourse with Sermodas we went to our beds where we had been the night before Sermodas brought us into the Chamber and then bid us good night telling us that he would call us up the next day and shew us some other diversions as pleasant as those of the day before We thanked him and told him that we should be ready to wait upon him and that we had seen so many wonders already that we thought that we could never see any more at those words he departed smiling The next morning Zidi Parabas and Sermodas with twenty more Gentlemen of the Kings Court came to attend upon us Sermodas only entring the room the rest stayed in a Chamber hard by till we were dressed As soon as we were ready two Fellows with Flutes in their hands ready to play saluted us offering to conduct us to the company that stayed for us they marched before us making most curious Musick till we came to the company A grave Signior of them stood with Zidi Parabas and told us that we must that day ride with Sevarminas into the Country and that he had sent them to call upon us for that purpose Sermodas had caused some
